Updating an add-on

The integration of the standard add-ons in the web application simplifies the upgrade process and makes it easier for customers to manage their add-ons and access the features they need.

If you are upgrading to iObeya 4.16 or an upper version, the following procedure only applies to customer-specific add-ons, as the standard add-ons are integrated in each new version of iObeya.

Warning:

This procedure is an extra step to the standard upgrade procedure of iObeya. Stop the application server before you upgrade an add-on.

Refer to the Upgrade Guide for details.

When you update your iObeya platform, you need to update your customer-specific add-ons to the latest version compatible with the version of iObeya you are installing.

Please contact our Support team to obtain a version of your customer-specific add-ons that corresponds to the version of iObeya you want to install.

Here are the steps required to update your add-ons while updating iObeya:

1. Delete the following directories to clean the plugin cache:

   • cacheDirectory/bundled-plugins

   • cacheDirectory/plugins-cache

   • cacheDirectory/osgi-cache

   • cacheDirectory/plugins-temp

2. Remove the old version of your add-ons from the pluginsDirectory directory (by default /var/iobeya/data/plugins).

3. Add the new version of your add-ons in the pluginsDirectory directory (by default /var/iobeya/data/plugins).
